Thermal imaging neighborhoods: Reason Magazine: Public Defender in GA: Cops Can't Use Thermal Images of Possible Grow Lights For Search Warrants by Matthew Feeney:

A public defender in Georgia is hoping to have his client's case dismissed by a Georgia Superior Court after claiming that evidence against his client was illegally obtained. James Brundgie has been charged with the manufacture of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled substance after a judge approved a warrant to search his property after thermal imaging detected a 'hot spot' in his garage. If the search warrant is upheld it will be a worrying precedent to set as police forces and other agencies will be able to justify thermal imaging of entire neighborhoods in search of similar 'hot spots'.

The public defender, Benjamin Pearlman, is rightly arguing that the warrant should never have been issued as Georgia law states that a warrant may not be issued 'for anything other than physical, tangible evidence.' It is hard to see exactly how a thermal scan fits into the category of physical or tangible evidence.

While state law may say "tangible evidence," the Fourth Amendment is not so limited, so this is a state law argument only.
